What’s the weirdest thing society accepts as normal?

Cheese on a stick

And we still don’t know the origin of such decisions. War claims to explain a lot but it really doesn’t.

This is one bit of ridiculousness I know is ridiculous but I cannot let it go 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

I’m married to a giant, so the little height boost stops me looking like a hobbit in photos….and heels definitely give my bum a bit of a boost and force me to stand with decent posture. I know it’s going to hurt. I know I’m going to complain about it…..but I do it anyway 🫠🫠🫠🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️😂

I believe, absent porn, it would be less ridiculous. I’m so old fashioned.

And diamonds too. If you look into their history, a few very powerful people decided that they should be ultra desirable and thus extremely expensive - and then this was just accepted as a fact by most of the world.

It's just carbon - the same as the base of so many things on the planet, including us! It's rather poignant how valuable diamonds are universally considered, yet how worthless many people consider other actual human beings to be.

Another great quote comes to mind.

"Any technology sufficiently advanced is indistinguishable from magic". That one's Arthur C. Clarke.

Why people are so fascinated by jewellery and diamonds and want to wear loads of it. Some subtle pieces are nice , but chunky things and loads of rings just look odd. Maybe it’s because I don’t like wearing it myself though !

I so agree with you. Look how they sold diamonds to the masses! There are some very clever, but ultimately, evil people in charge.

He almost certainly is! 😂

sums up a few of these

I love to imagine what a little goldfinch is thinking. Along with dogs and cats and horses……

That parrots can talk. This blows my mind 🤣

Oh yes! That blackbirds can mimic sounds they hear. Incredible.

Well…..they can mimic, and are super intelligent as far as birds go!

My step-MIL has a mockingbird nesting in a tree in her garden, and he’s got so used to hearing her calling in the dog, he now mimics that sound and the dog gets really confused 😂😂😂😂

Wow! 🤣

Monogamy - specifically sexual monogamy. Why is it only possible to be emotionally committed to someone if you’re physically exclusive to them? You love someone, you want them to be the most important person in your life… but that means you should never do something pretty much universally acknowledged as pleasurable with anyone else ever again?

If monogamy works and is so ideal, why do so many people cheat?

That it's unacceptable for men to put both their legs into a garment with a single fabric tube, rather than one leg in each of 2 fabric tubes.

(NB - whilst you might think it's less of an issue in Scotland, it's not actually a tube there, it's a flat piece wrapped around - a single tube is just as unacceptable there as it is the rest of the UK)

Religion.

What's the (achievable and suitable for children of working parents) alternative?

The NHS and care providers going all out to prolong the lives of very frail elderly people who live miserable lives (often painful, often mentally torturous) enduring hopeless, degenerative conditions. Vaccines, endless doses of antibiotics, spoon feeding.

Yes, I will never understand this. It actually really pains me.

A thousand times this.

🤣🤣🤣 They’ve been watching social media on how to interact with us

🤣

Exactly!
'Playing out' evolved before 'being in' (ie houses) were invented!

I’m a dog poo picker upper and I have this thought many times a day 😆😆😆
